Hi Andrew.

Very Good . Those warning whiskers aren't the easiest decals to fit . love the livery Early DMU green . I still have some fox tranfers lying around from when I had a Bachmann Brass bubble car .
The Faller model certainly doesn't look out of place with other 16mm scale models . The P.M.R. once owned one in its infancy but the share holders decided to sell it off to fund extending the line.
I found it really hard to remove the windscreens so left them in situ and painted around the frame with a micro brush . mine was a light blue variant .

Glad you like it folks!

Chris, your (very nice!) chocolate and cream one looks very much like my original model, but rather cleaner - mine has suffered from hanging around in dusty cupboards with dirty steam engines... And because I never got round to varnishing it, so I can't get grubby fingerprints etc off the cream paintwork!

I struggled with the windscreens too, although found getting the bloomin' things back in harder than getting them out. In the end I had to file and wax the edges to avoid having to apply so much force I broke it!
